John was born in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1986. He spent his early years in India researching a new flavor for Mountain Dew. After several failed attempts he moved back to Boston and got his big break in the movie Good Will Hunting. (He was the one with the thick accent.) This lucky break got him a spot at the prestigious Harvard University (or some other Boston School) (reference?). After majoring in Greek Drama, John got his doctorate in Dance. (Official title is Dr. J.)
Last year John followed up with his movie success by writing a screenplay called JohnCrazy. It fell flat at the box office, but inspired him to rewrite the script as a javascript library. He modified the name a little to jQuery. The rocket success of jQuery has touched millions of people. Most notably, the shah of iran and lindsey lohan are jQuery enthusiasts. John's next moveis to start a rock band with RIngo Starr. The duet will be called Purple Closures. Album is due in late 2007. On 6/26/07, Scott Trudeau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Brian, I actually disagree. I think a person himself is least best able to judge his notability -- since notability, by definition, involves the opinion and reputation of a person held by others. A published author and creator of a very widely used piece of software is certainly notable enough for a wikipedia entry. I encourage those with the time to write something!
